PROSCIUTTO BITES

Steps:

• You want all the ingredients (other than the prosciutto and black pepper) to be around the same size.
• I buy the slices of havarti from the deli and cut them into four long slices. Then cut those strips in half widthwise. I then put two pieces into a roll.
• Cut the pear into quarters and core it. Then cut each quarter in four long thin slices. I end up with a few slices leftover but I consider those treats for the cook!
• At one end of a slice of prosciutto, place a cheese slice, a pear wedge and a pepper stick.
• Sprinkle with pepper.
• Roll up slices and secure with toothpick if necessary. I find that the meay sticks to itself usually well enough to not need toothpicks.
• After they are rolled up, you can cutthem in half if you would like a smaller bite.
• Refrigerate prior to serving and keep cool during serving.
